Synopsis
When Daryl Ott Underhill sent out a general request for stories written by women about their lives, she was astounded by the response. The authors addressed a wide range of subjects, including being single, handling relationships, turning 30, being a mother, losing parents, surviving the empty nest syndrome, and fulfilling dreams. Now listeners can experience this remarkable collection of powerful and inspiring stories and share the heartbreak, joy, and wonder of what it means to be a woman in today's world.
Reviews
Women seeking inspiration will find two very different approaches in these tapes. An ensemble company narrates Every Woman Has a Story. A few of the tales are so full of clich?s or "artful" symbolism that the story is lost. Overall though, they provide for compulsive listening. Grouped by broad themes (family, marital status, friendship, life passages, etc.), they will appeal to women from differing backgrounds. Listeners will laugh and cry as women share the small and large events of their lives,. from making meatloaf to dealing with death. When Money Isn't Enough is for the successful professional who finds the restrictions of the traditional corporate world increasingly unacceptable. Through the experiences of very successful women, listeners learn of nationwide efforts to encourage valuable workers to stay employed and, at the same time, spend more time with family or helping in the community. While not reflecting the experience of most employees or companies, the authors provide comfort and practical advice to those dissatisfied and disillusioned with "business as usual." While not priority purchases, these tapes are recommended for libraries whose users are interested in self-help topics. Both are recommended for public libraries; school libraries supporting writing classes may find Underhill useful, while users of business libraries will prefer Glaser and Smalley.AKathleen A.
